[Bug 1082170] Re: skype-bin is not installable on 64bit oneiric due to broken multiarch dependencies

[Colin Watson]

I've uploaded iso-codes (awaiting review).  However, I'm decreasingly
convinced that we can convert libxml2 to multiarch in oneiric at all.
Lots of .la files referred to the non-multiarch location
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=643026), and at least
parser, pyabiword, and gnustep-base had to be fixed due to broken build
system assumptions.  This is a lot to try to do in a stable release, and
we'd probably need a full test rebuild.

I wonder if it's possible to get a version of the new skype without the
libqtwebkit4 dependency, which is the relevant difference here?

  iso-codes is arch-all, so there is no iso-codes:i386. As for libxml2,
  your guess is as good as mine.
